Programme details

Demonstration of Traditional Film Editing

Early television productions were shot on film. Each production had to go through a number of procedures before broadcasting: filming, film processing, editing, sound track mixing, superimposition and telecine transfer. Experienced film editors have been invited to give participants an introduction to the production processes of traditional TV programmes in the exhibition gallery. They will demonstrate film editing techniques using an old Steenbeck film editing machine. The demonstrators will also talk about the pros and cons of film editing, and the advantages of today's digital editing technology.

 

We Are Good Neighbours' Party

Members of TV programme "We Are Good Neighbours", including Harry, mascot Eor, hand puppet Sesame and Short-short Sighted, invite you to a party at the Function Place. They will sing songs and play games with neighbours of all ages, and stage a fantastic magic show!

 

90 Years of Broadcasting in Hong Kong Forum

(1) Retrospect and Prospect of Radio Broadcast

Part I – Retrospect
The development of Hong Kong's broadcasting industry is akin to the city's social development in miniature. Ranging from changes in technology to types of programmes, how are these changes related to all Hong Kong citizens?

Part II – Prospect
As more and more information and entertainment channels and platforms emerge, how can traditional radio broadcasting keep up with the times and explore further development?

Moderator: Mr Terence Wong (Experienced Media Worker)
Speakers: Mr Tai Keen-man (Former Deputy Director of Broadcasting), Mr Chu Ming-yui (Experienced Media Worker) and Mr Lee Joi-tong (Experienced Media Worker)

(2) Hong Kong TV Drama – Look into Future

Hong Kong was once Asia's TV drama production centre. RTHK began producing reality dramas in the 1970s. In recent years, emerging new media and the sudden rise of young directors have contributed to a new wave of TV drama. As we celebrate the 90th anniversary of Hong Kong's broadcasting industry, how can TV dramas move into the future?

Moderator: Professor Eric Ma Kit-wai (Former Professor of School of Journalism and Communication, The Chinese University of Hong Kong)
Speakers: Mr Wong Kwok-keung (Experienced Director), Mr Vicky Wong (TV and Film Director), Mr Mak Chi-hang (Experienced Producer), Mr Lee King-wah (Lecturer of School of Film and Television, Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts) and Mr Yau Tai-tung (TV Critic)

 

 

"DIY Animation" Workshop

King Bacterium, a classic character in RTHK's educational TV programmes, was created by Object Animation, a technique seldom used nowadays. You can make your own simple animation using a piece of play dough and a mobile phone with a video shooting function. In this workshop, experienced animation designers will explain the theory of animation and shooting techniques, and guide participants to design their own animations, mould characters using modelling clay, create a scene, and then shoot still-motion animation photos in sequence. All the participants will create their own animated stories and can take home their DIY characters.
